Villas that fit — with an indicative stay total for nights
$ indicative total · $/night × nights · whole villa
Nothing in the collection fits that exactly — but we hold homes beyond what’s shown here.
Send us your trip and we’ll find the right whole villa for your group and dates.
Read this as a ballpark, not a sealed figure. The indicative total is the nightly rate times your nights, for the whole villa — your real cost shifts with the dates you choose, any transfers, and the extras you add, which our team firms up over WhatsApp before you commit. All prices in SGD.
Getaways within reach of Singapore
No long-haul flight required — every destination is a ferry ride or a drive over the Causeway.
Beachfront escapes
Villas where the sea is the front yard — wake up, walk out, you’re in the water.

Stays we’d send our own family to
Tinggal started because booking a villa near Singapore was a gamble — patchy photos, mystery fees, and no one to call when the aircon died. So we built the opposite.
Every home in the collection has been visited and stayed in by our team. The price we quote is all-in, in SGD, and one named host is on WhatsApp for your whole stay. It’s a small collection on purpose — only places we’d genuinely recommend to a friend.
About Tinggal Villas →Why guests book whole villas with us
The whole place, always
Every Tinggal stay is a whole-villa booking — no shared corridors, no other guests, no front desk. The house is yours for the dates, full stop.
Visited, not just listed
We have stayed in every home in the collection ourselves. The photos are the real rooms, and we are straight with you about what each place is and isn’t.
Singapore-easy logistics
Ferries, the Causeway, drivers and pier pickups are arranged from our Singapore desk, so a getaway abroad feels as simple as a staycation.
A real host on WhatsApp
One named host per stay, replying within the hour in SGT. If the aircon sulks or you want a chef, you message a person, not a call centre.
Honest, all-in pricing
You settle exactly what we quote you, with cleaning and service already inside the nightly rate, shown in SGD. Pay by PayNow, card or Atome. Never the word "GST".
Looked after & PDPA-aware
Vetted homes, a cancellation window spelled out upfront, and your information kept private under Singapore’s PDPA. A booking you can trust.
Easy ways to plan your stay
Bundled stays for the most-asked-for trips — pick one, and we’ll shape the villa, nights and extras around it.

★★★★★
Booked Still Bay on Batam for a last-minute long weekend with two families. Tinggal sorted the ferry and a driver, the villa was exactly like the photos, and having the whole place to ourselves with a pool made it. Already planning the next one.

★★★★★
Travelling with a toddler is usually stressful, but the single-level Longhouse with a shallow pool was perfect. Cots and a high chair were ready when we arrived. Natasha answered every WhatsApp within minutes. Genuinely relaxing for once.
Wei Lun Chua
★★★★★
We took Canopy House in Desaru for a family reunion of ten. The drive up was easy, the house was huge and private, and the private-chef dinner they arranged was a highlight. Whole-villa is the only way I’ll travel with the family now.

★★★★★
My partner surprised me with Cliffside in Bintan to mark our anniversary, and it was unreal — the edge pool over the sea, a sunset chef dinner, total privacy. The price they quoted was the price we paid, all in. Tinggal thought of everything.
Somewhere in mind? Let’s check the dates.
